Question

I need to duplicate a view, with all it’s subviews.

Does anyone knows how to do it?

Answer 1

The easiest (but probably not the fastest) way is to archive it into an NSData object and unarchive it right away.

NSData *tempArchive = [NSKeyedArchiver archivedDataWithRootObject:myView];
UIView *myViewDuplicate = [NSKeyedUnarchiver unarchiveObjectWithData:tempArchive];
